New Information and Important Updates
**The information below is new or an updated version of something announced previously! **
Safe Return from February Break
I hope you have planned a safe and restful February break. As we prepare to return to the classroom after break, we are requiring staff and students to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before school starts again on Monday, February 28. This #SafeReturn testing requirement is like what took place in January after the winter break.
Here is what all staff and students need to know.
· Test kits will be available starting this week on Thursday, February 17th. If you did not receive a test kit last week, and are a DC resident, please visit a District COVID Center or a Rapid Test Pickup site to receive one.
· On Sunday, February 27, take the easy to use, at-home test and follow the instructions provided. You may choose to utilize your own testing option, but tests administered before February 27 will not be accepted.
· Upload your test results the same day: Provide proof of your negative test results to dcpsreopenstrong.com/safereturn by Sunday, February 27 at 9:00 p.m.
Any staff member or student who tests positive should also contact their supervisor and follow all isolation guidance from DC Health.
It’s important to keep learning disruptions to a minimum for our students. We appreciate the partnership of our entire community to collectively take a #SafeReturn test to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our schools.

SHMS Mission & Vision Building Family Series
Because of the generous donation of an anonymous member of our school community, we will be able to engage with parents and families with a specific focus on how race and equity show up and influence our work with students. Using the affinity group format, we will have three facilitated discussions where we will discuss how our mission and vision building, with race and equity in mind, can improve all students' sense of belonging and well-being at SHMS. We are so excited to begin this work and hope you will save these dates so you can join us:
March 30, 6:00-7:30
April 27, 6:00-7:30
May 18, 6:00-7:30
We are so excited to begin this work and are grateful to the PTA, our anonymous donor, and the Race & Equity Committee for supporting us here. We will share more details in upcoming newsletters.

Chancellor's Reopening Update for Families
September 10, 2021
Dear DCPS Community,
Across DC Public Schools, it is exciting to see students are settling into their classes and new routines, building friendships, and connecting with their teachers. The well-being of our students and staff is our priority. We recognize that with our robust health and safety measures in place, this school year feels different for most students and families. We know families have questions, and we are committed to keeping you informed about our health and safety measures.
Today’s email covers:
- What happens when there is a COVID-19 positive case at your child’s school.
- What to do if your child feels unwell or tests positive for COVID-19.
What should I do if my child doesn’t feel well?
Each day, families should follow our daily symptoms checklist (often referred to as “Ask. Ask. Look.”) to monitor for any symptoms of COVID-19 before your student leaves for school. If your child is not feeling well or is showing any symptoms, they should stay home.
Your school can also provide information about the learning materials available for your student while they are unwell and can arrange for an at-home technology device to be available if you need one.
My child tested positive for COVID-19. What should I do?
Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 cannot attend school in person and should isolate for at least 10 days and show improvement of symptoms, including no fever for 24 hours.
Please call your school to notify immediately if your child tests positive for COVID-19. We will need to know when your child was last in the school building so contact tracers can begin identifying anyone who may have been in close contact with your child. Your school can also provide information about the learning materials available for your student while they are quarantining and can arrange for an at-home technology device to be available if you need one.
How do I learn if someone tests positive for COVID-19 in my child’s class?
When we are notified about a positive COVID-19 case at school, trained contact tracers will determine if anyone is considered a close contact. Anyone who is identified as a close contact will be notified directly by the school.
After close contacts are identified and informed, families are notified via an email message from your school principal that someone tested positive for COVID-19 within their school and the date that the individual was last present in the building. If the person who tested positive was in your child’s classroom you will receive an additional notification from your school.
If someone at my child’s school tests positive for COVID-19, who is told to quarantine?
Contact tracers will work with the school and the individual who tested positive to identify anyone who is considered a close contact. If your student is considered a close contact, you will be contacted directly. Click here to read how DC Health defines a close contact in a school setting.
If your student is fully vaccinated, they will be notified that they are a close contact but are not required to quarantine unless they show symptoms. Fully vaccinated individuals who are in close contact with a COVID-19 individual are encouraged to get a test between 3 to 5 days of exposure.
What kind of COVID-19 testing is done at school for students?
There are two kinds of testing operations at DCPS schools.
If a child is showing symptoms of COVID-19, they will be escorted to the Health Isolation Room and administered an on-site COVID-19 test.
DCPS also has an opt-out, no-symptom (asymptomatic) testing program. This means we work to randomly test 10-20 percent of our students each week. This is a non-invasive saliva-based test.
All DCPS school-based testing is free for students.
Have more questions?
You can find the answers to more questions about how we inform a school community about COVID-19 public health notices at https://dcpsreopenstrong.com/health/response/.
We know there is nothing more important to you than the well-being of your child. We will continue to update you on our health and safety protocols and the steps we are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our schools.
Sincerely,
Lewis D. Ferebee, Ed.D.
Chancellor
IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR FAMILIES

PTA Spring Updates
Peabody, Watkins and Stuart-Hobson Families,
Two of our biggest and most amazing PTA community events are coming back this spring and we need your help!
Our 2022 Spring Auction will be in April! The auction planning team is actively planning the event, including a final date and outdoor location. Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey we sent out last week -- the feedback was amazing! If you are interested in volunteering, please email our 2022 Auction Chairs, Kristi Lowe and Laura Odato. There is a place for everyone on the team! (ClusterAuctionChair@chcspta.org, laura.odato@gmail.com)
The Capitol Hill Classic is BACK -- please mark your calendars for Sunday, May 15th! The CHC is truly one of the best community events on Capitol Hill but it takes a huge amount of work to put together. If you would like to join the Capitol Hill Classic Team, please email Race Director Jason Levine or Lona Valmoro. (jason@queso.com, lvalmoro@yahoo.com)
PTA Dates This Spring:
Monday, March 7th -- PTA March General Meeting on Zoom (8:00pm)

Black History Month Book Recommendations!
Thanks to the Cluster PTA Race, Class, and Equity Group for compiling this list of books. Please enjoy these recommendations!
I Love Diverse Books
Recommendations from the Cluster Race, Class, and Equity (RCE) group:
The Coretta Scott King Book Awards are given annually by the American Library Association to outstanding African American authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults that demonstrate an appreciation of African American culture and universal human values. The award commemorates the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and honors his wife, Mrs. Coretta Scott King, for her courage and determination to continue the work for peace and world brotherhood. In celebration of Black History Month and the ongoing work of the King family, consider reading one of this year’s Coretta Scott King award and honor books.
Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre by Carole Boston Weatherford provides a powerful look at the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, one of the worst incidents of racial violence in our nation's history. The illustrated book traces the history of African Americans in Tulsa's Greenwood district and chronicles the devastation that occurred in 1921 when a white mob attacked the Black community.
Home Is Not A Country by Safia Elhillo is a powerful novel-in-verse that captures one girl, caught between cultures, on an unexpected journey to face the ephemeral girl she might have been. Woven through with moments of lyrical beauty, this is a tender meditation on family, belonging, and home.
Revolution in Our Time: The Black Panther Party’s Promise to the People by Kekla Magoon. This comprehensive, inspiring history of the Black Panther Party introduces readers to the Panthers’ community activism, grounded in the concept of self-defense, which taught Black Americans how to protect and support themselves in a country that treated them like second-class citizens.
Each of these books is available in the print collections of the DC Public Library and the Stuart Hobson library and as eBooks and/or audiobooks in Sora. If you’ve never used Sora before, here's a brief tutorial for parents and students. Some many options; check them out!

These speakers will share their perspectives and help us explore. We'll have a chance to hear from each of our speakers and ask them questions. We heartily welcome all teens and adults to attend.
The Capitol Hill Cluster PTA and Race, Class, and Equity Group, which include Watkins Elementary School, are co-sponsoring this event with Hill Havurah.

Results from Weekly Asymptomatic Testing
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends offering coronavirus (COVID-19) testing in schools. COVID-19 testing helps schools identify cases of COVID-19 quickly and reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections at school. For the 2021-22 school year, your student’s school is participating in a citywide COVID-19 school based testing program available to all DC public and public charter schools. our
Whenever your student participates in asymptomatic Covid-19 testing the results will be shared securely with the student’s parent/guardian (or the adult student directly), the appropriate school official(s), and DC Health. All testing is free.
Attachments linked below will give you information on the asymptomatic Covid-19 testing process and directions on how to view your child's test results and a contact number if you need support. Our AGENCY CODE is "StuHobMS". This agency code is case-sensitive. Feel free to contact AP Turner or our school's main office with any questions. Please note that we will not always inform you about whether or not your student participates on a given day but testing regularly takes place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, results are typically available within 24 hours and before school begins the following day.
Thank you for allowing your student to participate in asymptomatic testing. We want to remind everyone to get vaccinated to improve our ability to defeat Covid-19!

Spelling Bee!
We are thrilled to announce that the Stuart-Hobson Annual Spelling Bee is just around the corner. This year's competition will happen virtually. This is our timeline:
- Students will be asked in their 8th period class to complete a form indicating whether they would like to compete in this year's spelling bee by 1/11/22.
- Parents/caregivers will be contacted by email with instructions on how to register interested student participants for the test. Registrations must be completed by 1/17/22.
- Students will compete by grade level by taking an on-line multiple-choice test designed by the Scripps National Spelling Bee on 1/21/22. The top ten students from each grade level will advance to our Schoolwide Bee.
- These top 30 spellers will compete in our Schoolwide Bee on 1/27/22. (The format of this test will also be online and will require students to listen to a list of spelling words and type each one.)
- The top three spellers from this Schoolwide Bee will advance to the Cluster Spelling Bee (2/9/22) where they will compete against other students across the city.
Please encourage your student to participate. If spelling in front of a crowd usually makes your student nervous, this year's virtual format should be very reassuring! Students will be given a chance to sign up to participate in 8th period, during the week of 1/10/22. However, if as a caregiver, you would like to sign your child up to participate, feel free to e-mail me directly (nancy.abou-samra1@k12.dc.gov) with your child's first and last name and grade level. (You can "voluntell" them to participate this way.) Spelling words to practice can be found in this 2022 Spelling Bee folder.
National History Day Projects
Thanks again to our team and we cannot wait to see what our students ask, research, and create for this year's competition!
SY 2021-22 Impact Aid Survey

Policies & Daily Operations
Student Breakfast and Lunch Adjustments for 2022
Breakfast - Students will continue to enter on 4th Street, beginning at 8:15. Students will be directed to the cafeteria for breakfast or to the gym for supervision until we bring students upstairs to prepare for their first period class at 8:45. We will have assigned spaces in each location for the different grade levels and will encourage all COVID safety guidelines (e.g. mask wearing, social distancing, etc.).
Lunch - We will return to the lunch and recess model that we used before the pandemic began. At the beginning of each lunch period the entire grade level will enter the cafeteria and sit in assigned locations (with classmates from the previous period). Once everyone is seated, half of the grade level will have a 20-minute recess outside (weather permitting) while the other half eats lunch in the cafeteria. Halfway through the period we will switch the recess and cafeteria groups. While students are in the cafeteria eating they will be able to spread out into available seating to maximize social distancing. Again, we will continue to encourage adherence to all COVID health and safety guidance (e.g. mask wearing when not eating, hand and respiratory hygiene, etc.)
We will communicate these plans to students during upcoming Town Halls and our Welcome Back Assemblies (scheduled before their lunch periods) on the first day of school in 2022.
Please reach out to your grade-level administrator with any questions about these planned changes.
DCIAA Athletic Events Update - No Spectators
Attention SHMS Families and Fans!
Thank you for your support of our student-athletes. Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases across the city and region, spectators will not be permitted at athletic programming at our school. We recognize that this is disappointing news for our families and supporters. The health and safety of our students remains our highest priority.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
DCPS Attendance Policy Updates
This is a reminder about updates to DC Public Schools’ policy regarding unexcused absences related to COVID-19 and Virtual Learning Program for school year 2021-22. If your student has unexcused absences related to COVID-19 or Virtual Learning Program this school year, please review the information below to determine whether your student's absences are eligible to be excused. If you believe your student to be eligible, you must submit a note to your school’s Attendance Point of Contact (Ms. Hargrove) for absences to be excused.
COVID-19 Close Contact: You may now submit a note for an excused absence if your student was absent from school because the student, or a member of the student’s household, was determined to be a close contact of a person who tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Students whose absences were not previously eligible for excusal for this reason can now have those absences excused.
Virtual Learning Program Expansion: If your student is approved for virtual learning under new requirements set by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), their previous absences related to COVID-19 can also be excused.
Please complete and submit the excuse note provided below if your child has been absent from school this school year due to one of the following reasons:
1. Your child or a member of your household was determined to be a close contact of a person who tested positive for COVID-19; or
2. Your child has recently been approved for the Virtual Learning Program and has had COVID-related absences between the start of school and November 30, 2021.
Notes must be submitted via email, text, or hand-delivery to your child’s school on or before December 17, 2021, so that your child’s absence can be recorded as excused. For the rest of this school year, please submit excuse notes to your school within five days of your child’s return to school from an absence.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact your school’s attendance Point of Contact, Ms. Hargrove.
Attendance Corner
Attendance Corner:
Welcome to the Attendance Information Corner for Stuart-Hobson Middle School. My name is Ms. Hargrove and I will be providing attendance updates to families in this corner. Parents, it is crucial that you get your child to school on-time and attending all classes. Please take a moment and read the 80/20 rule below. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me and I will be able to discuss it with you.
80/20 Attendance Rule:
This rule states that a student must not miss more than 20% of their day to be marked present. If a student misses 2 classes in a day, that student has missed 20% of the day and will be marked absent without a valid excuse. Please do your best to have your student present and on-time for school. If your student has a valid excuse for being late, please provide documentation to Ms. Hargrove by email:Clara.Hargrove@k12.DC.Gov, by text: 202-494-9747 or by calling the main office at 202-671-6010. If you need additional information on DCPS Attendance Policies, please go to the see the attached website: https://dcps.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/dcps/publication/attachments/Attendance-and-Truancy-Policy-SY%202021-22.pdf.
Attendance Celebration:
At Stuart-Hobson Middle School, we like to celebrate our students’ achievements for attendance. We will host a monthly attendance celebration for perfect and improved attendance by our students. Perfect attendance is described as no tardies or absences from classes for the month. I want to thank the students that had perfect attendance and participated in the Jeans & Jersey Day on November 1, 2021. Our next attendance incentive will be our Annual Perfect Attendance Pancake Celebration on Tuesday, November 23, 2021. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
